John McCain's fundraiser busted for a meth lab with LSD, coke, heroin and counterfeit cash
Sarah K. Burris
Sen. John McCain's re-election fundraisers all list the same name as the RSVP contact, but that name also showed up as a person arrested during the bust of a meth lab Tuesday.
In Maricopa County, Arizona, sheriff's deputies made arrests when they found an operational meth lab as well as other illicit drugs when they were carrying out a search warrant for the woman's home. According to The Arizona Republic, the sheriff's office identified Emily Pitha, 34, who is a former staffer of retired U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ). She also has worked most recently as a campaign fundraiser for McCain's 2016 reelection.
McCain's campaign manager, Ryan O'Daniel, issued a statement after the reports, quickly throwing Ms. Pitha under the nearest bus. "We commend the hard work and dedication of our law enforcement officers in their fight to keep our community safe from illegal drugs and associated criminal activity," the comment read. "The campaign immediately terminated any relationship with Ms. Pitha upon learning of her alleged involvement in the operation."
The sheriff's office spokesperson said that they were alerted to the activity after a package was in transit from the Netherlands, which had over 250 grams of MDMA, which is raw ecstasy. Pitha's boyfriend, 36-year-old Christopher Hustrulid, was the individual who signed for the packaged when it was finally delivered Tuesday afternoon before the search warrant was served.
Officers report an unspecified amount of LSD, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, about $7,000 in loose currency and counterfeit money was also found along with the meth lab.
The couple will face numerous drug charges but also possible child-endangerment charges for exposing two children in the home to the drugs.

Princess Leia And Luke Skywalker - POTF2 [R/G] - Princess Leia Collection
Name: Princess Leia And Luke Skywalker
Collection: The Power Of The Force "2" [Freeze Frame/The Kenner Collection]
Number: N/A
Source: A New Hope
Availability: January 1998
The beautiful Princess Leia, Senator and Cell Leader for the Rebel Alliance, rewards the young Luke Skywalker for his heroic role in the destruction of the Imperial Death Star.
It is hard for most collectors to grasp the fact that the very first version of Princess Leia based on her appearance at the Yavin ceremony was part of a girls' focused action figure line. But that's what happened. The Princess Leia Collection was all about engaging a new female audience, and it did this with a focus on action figures and related counterparts that focused on the beautiful Princess Leia Organa. The line wasn't perfect however. In order to make things more "girly" the action figures had over-exaggerated makeup applications and bright soft-goods. But Kenner more importantly abandoned the superhero sized frames and made a female form that was delicate, feminine and Princess Leia inspired. We're not sure what prompted Kenner to discover they needed to capture an audience that they'd overlooked for so long, but this bittersweet collection got enough of the collecting community to pay attention, and those fans were just thrilled to see so many Princess Leia action figures at once.
The Princess Leia And Luke Skywalker duo is inspired from the events that took place at the Yavin ceremony at the conclusion of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Both figures in the set are all-new, and collectors are going to be very happy about the Luke Skywalker figure, if not ecstatic for the Princess Leia figure. Let's start with Luke Skywalker. For the first time, we received Luke Skywalker (In Ceremonial Outfit) with a soft-goods jacket. This means that when you remove it his entire upper body is wearing the black shirt underneath. This is awesome because publicity stills exist where Luke is wearing this outfit without the jacket as well (while holding a lightsaber). With The Power Of The Force "2" always approaching figures with a removable center shell (while the sleeves remain mismatched because of that removable shell), here the fluidity maintains its integrity very nicely. It almost makes us wish that Kenner would approach all action figures with removable coats in this manner. Because the figures have more alternative options.... and look a whole lot better anyway.
Princess Leia is really the gem in this set however. Sure, she borders on looking like a fairytale princess instead of the Princess of Alderaan, but we love the figure all the same. She has layers of soft-goods, all of which are removable, as well as a removable belt. She even comes with soft-goods hair. The soft-goods braided hair is a bit much (and appears much too long for us) but it surprisingly works and looks surprisingly better than you might imagine. When you fully remove her ensemble, she appears to be wearing some sort of space underwear or bathing suit, but whatever it is it has been tastefully executed. If Kenner just decided to back off on the makeup applications a bit, we think this figure would easily stand the test of time for years to come. There is one last accessory which could either be Luke's or Leia's and that is the medal of honor. It fits well around Luke's neck, but admittedly the bunching up of the soft-goods jacket prevents it from laying as flatly as you might want to see. Other than that, this set is a blast.

LOS ANGELES >> USC has nine players on its roster who attended Gardena Serra High.
They'll see a familiar face on Saturday at Arizona.
It is likely the Wildcats will turn to freshman quarterback Khalil Tate for what would be his first career start after injuries beset Brandon Dawkins and Anu Solomon.
Tate, who prepped at Serra, took over in relief for Dawkins in the past two games. He threw for 177 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, while also running for 112 yards.
Dawkins, another dual-threat quarterback, has been out with a rib injury and a concussion. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez has not announced a starter for this week.
USC coaches and players did not indicate an issue preparing for an offense without a starter settled. For one reason, Tate and Dawkins are similarly agile and faster quarterbacks than anyone they have faced this season.
"These two guys are elite runners in our minds as quarterbacks," Trojans coach Clay Helton said.
Dawkins, a sophomore, has picked up 484 yards on the ground and eight touchdowns on 63 carries, an average of 7.7 yards per attempt.
Tate offers less experience, but is talented.
Freshman defensive end Oluwole Betiku joked that Tate weighs 235 pounds.
In actuality, Arizona lists him at 212 pounds on its official roster. But Betiku wanted to underscore a point about his former teammate.
USC offered Tate a scholarship. Helton said he watched him several times.
"We've had some good fortune there in the recruiting aspect," he said.
But Tate eventually signed with Arizona and enrolled in school in January. Rodriguez runs an up-tempo, spread offense that appears best to highlight his athleticism.
"That was a good fit for him to go out there," Jackson said.
As he would be a first-time starter, USC sees a chance to rattle him too.
But they can't miss, be it Tate or Dawkins.

Fed officials say trade tensions could threaten growth
(Reuters) – The recent ratcheting up of U.S.-China trade tensions is creating uncertainties for businesses and could threaten economic growth, four Federal Reserve policymakers said on Thursday.
The remarks suggest the outcome of the 10-month trade war between the world's two largest economies will be an important factor as Fed policymakers weigh how long to stay "patient" on interest rates.
"I feel like the data is good, but the mood is teetering, so if we get a relaxation or a reduction in the uncertainty…then I expect the economy's momentum to be an upside risk to growth," San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly said at a Dallas Fed conference. "If the uncertainties persist…then I think that's a downside to the economy, because the uncertainty has real effects, but it also has effects on confidence, and that confidence feeds back into investment."
Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, who spoke on the same panel, also said that uncertainties around trade could hurt growth, while their resolution could boost it.
"I'm watching very carefully how these trade tensions unfold because I have a concern.. whether that could cause some deceleration in the rate of growth," Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan told reporters after the panel. "It's too soon to say."
The comments came as researchers at the New York Fed published research showing the newest round of U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will cost the typical American household $831 annually.
The Trump administration this month increased existing tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods to 25% from 10%, prompting Beijing to retaliate with its own levies on U.S. imports, as talks to end a 10-month trade war between the world's two largest economies stalled.
"Our rate setting for the moment — key words being 'for the moment' — is in the right area," Kaplan said. "I think the new development over the last month has been increased trade tensions and more business uncertainty, and it's going to take a little while to sort out how that might unfold, or how long that might last."
The policymakers made the comments at a Dallas Fed conference on technology, where academics, educators, and policymakers gathered to discuss the effect of technological advances like artificial intelligence on inflation, labor markets and the economy.
Research presented suggested that the adoption of new technologies may be pushing down on inflation and changing the nature of work in a way that could exacerbate what are already big income inequalities.

DHS chief doubles down on request to migrants at southern border: 'Do not come'
By Priscilla Alvarez, CNN
Thank you Cheryl Lynn for holding this important hearing. Department of Homeland Security's physical years. Thank you. Also Secretary Orcas. I'm sorry. Under this administration our department has been executing *** comprehensive strategy to secure our borders and rebuild our immigration system With the title 42 public health orders set to be lifted. We expect migration levels to increase as smugglers seek to take advantage of and profit from vulnerable migrants. We will continue to enforce our immigration laws After title 42 is lifted. Noncitizens will be processed pursuant to title eight, which provides that individuals who cross the border without legal authorization are processed for removal and if unable to establish *** legal basis to remain in the United States, promptly removed from the country. We inherited *** broken and dismantled system that is already under strain. It is not built to manage the current levels and types of migratory flows. Only Congress can fix this. Yes, we have effectively managed an unprecedented number of non citizens seeking to enter the United States and interdicted more drugs and disrupted more smuggling operations than ever before. *** significant increase in migrant encounters will strain our system even further and we will address this challenge successfully. Our responsibility in the Department of Homeland Security is to implement the Title 42 Authority of the C. D. C. At our border and to implement it effectively and judiciously. According to the law, We are mindful that the that there can be an increase in migratory flows encountered at our southern border. Should title 40 to come to an end as the C. D. C. has determined that it needs to do by May 23. Our responsibility, therefore, is to prepare and plan for that eventuality.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday doubled down on his request for migrants not to attempt to enter the U.S. through its southern border, saying his message to them is clear: "Do not come.""Because our border is not open," Mayorkas told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "What happens now is individuals are either expelled under the Title 42 authority or they are placed in immigration enforcement proceedings. And they are removed if they do not have a valid claim under our law to remain.""So, just to be clear, if somebody is watching this from another country, considering coming. Your message is?" Bash asked."Do not come," the secretary replied.Mayorkas said that if a record-breaking 18,000 migrants are encountered on the U.S.-Mexico border daily — a potential scenario put forth by DHS — it would put a "strain on the system."DHS has been preparing for multiple scenarios when a Trump-era pandemic restriction, known as Title 42, lifts on the U.S.-Mexico border. The authority, invoked at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, allows border officials to turn away migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border because of the public health crisis.The secretary maintained that the Biden administration is actively preparing for when that authority lifts. "What we do is we prepare, and we plan, and we've been doing so for months," he said Sunday. "It is our responsibility to be prepared for different scenarios and that is what we are doing."Asked about Democratic lawmakers who argue the department is not prepared for a migrant surge at the border, Mayorkas said, "I disrespectfully disagree." He stressed that preparations ere underway and cited a 20-page memorandum released last week describing the plans in detail.'We know where they are'Mayorkas on Sunday also confirmed that 42 individuals who were on the terrorist screening database had been encountered on the U.S.-Mexico border, telling Fox that the administration has a "handle on it."Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, grilled Mayorkas last week over the people encountered at the southern border who were on the terrorist watch list, accusing the secretary of not knowing where they were. Mayorkas provided more information during his interview with Fox, saying he didn't want to "misspeak" in response to Jordan's question."We know where those 42 individuals are on the TSDB, the terrorist screening database," he said."Let me share with you what happens: They can be removed, they can be placed into custody for criminal prosecution, they can be cooperating in a law enforcement investigation, and I don't intend to provide that data publicly if it's law enforcement-sensitive. But we know where those 42 are, and I did not want to speak to the disposition of each and every one of them."Asked if Americans should be worried, Mayorkas said, "We've got a handle on it," referring to the entire U.S. enforcement and intelligence enterprise, including the FBI.

Asked if Americans should be worried, Mayorkas said, "We've got a handle on it," referring to the entire U.S. enforcement and intelligence enterprise, including the FBI.

Norovirus warning from Public Health England as cases rise across the region
There are reports of an outbreak at a Cambridge nursery
Public Health England are urging people to protect themselves against the nasty norovirus (Image: PA)
The level of norovirus in the East of England is higher than would normally expected, Public Health England has warned.
Norovirus is stomach bug that causes severe diarrhoea and vomiting. It's most common during the winter months.
But this Christmas season has seen a rise in the number of reported cases compared to last year.
It is particularly common across schools, nurseries and care homes - as it can be easily spread across large groups of people.
Local nursery reports outbreak
Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool in Clarkson Road, Cambridge, has been hit by a norovirus outbreak.
There have been reports that 'about 20 children and 11 staff' have caught the illness. The nursery remains open.
A spokesperson for the nursery said: "Like many other schools and nurseries in the area we have had a number of cases of the virus among children and staff at the nursery; we have notified our local health protection team who are happy with the actions we have taken.
"These include maintaining our focus on handwashing and hygiene, undertaking additional deep cleaning of rooms and equipment, and providing advice to parents regarding symptoms, care and exclusion periods.
"The health and wellbeing of our children and colleagues is our priority at all times".

Public Health England has issued a warning about the rise of the illness, as well as some steps to take to reduce chances of catching it.
What PHE says
Nick Phin, National Infection Service Deputy Director, PHE said: "Norovirus activity continues to increase and cases of norovirus are at levels higher than we would usually expect to see at this time of year.
"One of the best ways to protect against norovirus is by practicing good hygiene. This includes thorough hand washing with soap and warm water after using the toilet and before eating or preparing foods.
"Most people who get infected with norovirus will make a full recovery within 1-2 days but it is important to drink plenty of fluids during that time to prevent dehydration especially in the very young, elderly or those with weakened immunity.
"We advise people with symptoms not to visit GP surgeries and hospitals, however if they are concerned they should contact NHS 111 or talk to their GP by phone."
"If you or your child have had symptoms of norovirus, it is important to stay home from work, school or childcare setting until 48 hours after symptoms have cleared."

Let's hear it again for that slimy little turd of a London Mayor – 5ft 4 inches of self righteous bile, – your own, your very own (and you can keep him) Sadiq "Concorde Nose" Khan, who has, yet again, attempted to blackmail the government, by pretending he is seriously thinking of closing down one of London's underground (tube lines) OR axe "100 bus routes", unless the government give them another (never to be repaid) "loan":
https://uk.yahoo.com/news/tfl-crisis-latest-sadiq-khan-095943944.html
I apologize to non-London cunters for raising this, but there is always this pattern with this little worm – he makes outrageous threats, gets the money he needs to piss against the wall, never tries to put his projects on a workable budget and then boasts that "he" has secured the funding – if he does, it is only through his constant blackmail.

Another cunting for Suckdick and his Diversity is our strength shithole that is London.
A group of Jewish teenagers on a bus in Oxford St were 'abused' by several men, banging on the windows and giving Nazi salutes.
Now you would expect this was a 'far right' attack and if it had been them MSM would have had a fucking party with Tommy R hung drawn and quartered.
Sadly from the video footage this group of thugs had a familiar look, their heritage was either Stans or some other Muslim shithole
The link has the footage, and a headline 'deeply disturbing', not really it's what we expect from the religion of peace.

Diversity is our weakness. London might as well be in Pakistan. We should move England's capital back to Winchester.
A lot countries have done this – moved their capital. Move it to York. London is a weird, unfriendly, stressful place. You can't relax there like you can in Paris, Rome, Prague, Budapest, Copenhagen, etc. It just fills you with anxiety at 2pm never mind at night. It's a business hub, THE business hub. Add Muslims and creepy foreigners to that mix and you have a hellscape, no other way of putting it. And many places in Blighty are becoming like that.

CG@ – York? Every politician would be permanently stuck in traffic on the A19 bottleneck into York and wouldn't be able to implement any stupid and dangerous policies which will further damage our Country.
York it is then! 👍
Actually, maybe not, York is quite close to me, it reminds me more and more of Chinatown as loud aggressive groups of up to 30 tourists at a time walk around like they own the place and use their 5 grand Japanese cameras to photograph everything they casually assume they will own in 20 years.
A crime ridden dump filled with junkies and poverty where an English accent is the last heard – so nothing like London then! 😃

Russia rejects claim of discrediting US COVID-19 vaccines, EU states purchasing Sputnik V
Wednesday, 10 March 2021 7:24 AM
Russia has brushed off a US allegation that Moscow is discrediting Western-made coronavirus vaccines, as the Russian-made vaccine Sputnik V nears approval as the first non-EU and non-US inoculation in the European Union (EU).
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki accused Russian intelligence services on Monday of working to undermine the US-made Moderna Inc and Pfizer Inc coronavirus vaccines.
She claimed that the White House had identified three online publications that Russia was using to spread disinformation about the two American vaccines, as well as international organizations, military conflicts, and protests.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that the Kremlin had "always been against politicizing issues related to vaccines."
"Russia has never participated and does not intend to participate in such campaigns against other vaccines," he said. "All these statements are absurd, have no basis in fact, and we really regret that anyone would take such statements seriously."
The Russian vaccine itself, the first to have been developed in the world, has been the target of dismissals by Western media, which described it as hastily prepared to serve political purposes.
Now some 46 counties have authorized Sputnik V, according to the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), which markets the vaccine outside Russia's borders.
Sputnik V could be made in EU after reported deals
The Russian vaccine could now be produced in the European Union (EU) nations, as reports say that the RDIF has struck deals with production facilities in Spain, France, and Germany to produce the vaccine.
The RDIF has also signed a deal with Italy to produce shots in the country, according to both the Russian organization and the Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce.
They said there were plans for the production in Italy to begin in June and that 10 million doses could be produced by the end of the year.
"This agreement is the first of its kind with a European partner," Vincenzo Trani, the head of the chamber, said in the statement. "It can be called a historic event, which is proof of the good state of relations between our countries and shows that Italian companies can see beyond political differences."
According to an Italian government source, the Italian Industry Ministry played no role in the deal between the RDIF and Italian company Adienne.
The source said that the ministry had not even been informed of the operation, which is "legitimate" and "in line with market dynamics."
The agreement, however, will need approval from Italian regulators before production can be launched.
The deal paves the way for other EU member states to press ahead with plans — without waiting for the EU's regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) — to grant approvals to Sputnik V, which according to scientists is almost 92% effective.
The Amsterdam-based EMA has not yet approved Sputnik V but has begun reviewing the shot for possible approval.
The Russian vaccine has already been approved or is being assessed for approval in three EU member states, namely Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
If at least four EU member states request to buy Sputnik V, Brussels could start negotiations about a possible agreement to purchase shots.
The EMA board chair, Christa Wirthumer-Hoche, however, sparked controversy last week when she said that Sputnik V was "somewhat comparable to Russian roulette."
Peskov reacted by describing that remark as "deplorable" and "inappropriate at the very least."
"No one should doubt that this is one of the world's most popular and perhaps most trusted vaccines," he said.
The manufacturer of Sputnik V also demanded an apology.
"We demand a public apology from EMA's Christa Wirthumer-Hoche for her negative comments on EU states directly approving Sputnik V," the manufacturer wrote on Twitter. "Her comments raise serious questions about possible political interference in the ongoing EMA review."
According to the Russian Direct Investment Fund, which has bankrolled the vaccine production, the production of the Russian jab will eventually involve many countries from around the world, including India, South Korea, Brazil, China, Turkey, Iran, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
France denies signing of vaccine contract with Russia
Separately, France dismissed reports that it had signed a contract with Russia to produce Sputnik V.
"As far as we're aware, no contract has been signed by a company in France to produce the Sputnik V vaccine," said a spokesman for France's industry minister on Tuesday.
Earlier this week, France's European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune called on EU member states not to use the Russian shots and China's Sinopharm vaccines before they are approved by the bloc's medicine regulator.
Beaune warned of a risk to the bloc's unity and public health, in remarks that prompted a reaction from the vaccine producer.
The Sputnik-V producer said on Saturday that, "EU solidarity should be about saving European lives by giving access to a portfolio of vaccines, including Sputnik V, already registered by 45 nations."
"EU confirmed that EU countries have a right to order Sputnik V directly," the tweet added.
French President Emmanuel Macron has left the door open to partnership between Paris and Moscow to produce the jabs, according to his advisor.

now enrolling future doctors
University of Houston's medical school gets accreditation, plans to start first class in July
The University of Houston College of Medicine can now enroll its inaugural class. Photo courtesy of University of Houston
The University of Houston has received the green light to move forward with its recruiting and enrolling its first class of 30 medical students for the first new medical school in Houston in over 50 years.
The University of Houston College of Medicine has received its preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the authority on medical education in the United States and Canada that is sponsored by the American Medical Association and the American Association of Medical Colleges.
This accreditation means the school can begin enrolling its inaugural class of 30 students and begin classes on July 20. Each of these new students will receive a $100,000 four-year scholarship thanks to an anonymous donor.
"Today is a historic day for the University of Houston, city of Houston, and the state of Texas because we are building this dream together," says Renu Khator, president and chancellor of the university, in a news release. "By training the next generation of compassionate physicians who understand how to provide quality health care at a reasonable cost, we are expanding our capabilities to serve the people and neighborhoods too often left behind."
Khator announced her plans to create the new school in 2014, with the goal being to address the shortage of 4,800-plus primary care physicians in Texas, according to the release.
For now, the school will operate out of UH's Health 2 Building, but the university plans to break ground this summer a new $80 million College of Medicine building. Completion is expected in 2022.
The school will focus its curriculum on primary care, behavioral and mental health, and preventive care, per the release, and create a household-centered care program that involves connecting a student with a family in an underserved community. According to the release, UH med students will be required to spend four weeks in a clinic in a rural part of the state.
"At full staffing we will have 65 full-time faculty teaching on campus, but there will be also be a large number of community-based faculty teaching in the outpatient and inpatient clinical settings," says Dr. Stephen Spann, founding dean of the medical school, in the release. "It is imperative that we place our medical students and faculty directly in the communities with the most need."
The school will still need fill accreditation from LCME, and, according to the release, this level of approval is usually granted within the fourth year of operation as long as the school meets the standards set by the organization.
"We are extremely grateful to receive LCME accreditation, but now the real work begins because we want to be accountable for improving the overall health and health care of the region," Spann says in the release.

Houston area robotics tech company announces European expansion
Nauticus Robotics has expanded to the United Kingdom and to Norway. Image via nauticusrobotics.com
A Webster-based tech company has officially launched operations in two European countries — and it's only the beginning.
Nauticus Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ: KITT), which went public a few months ago, opened operations in Norway and the United Kingdom, "beginning the company's international expansion strategy for 2023 and beyond," according to a release from Nauticus. The company develops underwater robots, software, and services to the marine industries.
"The ocean touches nearly every aspect of our lives, yet paradoxically seems to receive less attention and innovation when compared to other sectors," says Nicolaus Radford, founder and CEO of Nauticus, in the release. "As we expand our operations to these strategic locales and beyond, our core mission remains the same: to become the most impactful ocean robotics company and realize a future where autonomous robotic technologies are commonplace and enable the blue economy for the better."
The two new operating bases are in Stavanger, Norway, and Aberdeen, Scotland. The two outposts will serve the North Sea offshore market. According to the release, Nauticus will work with local partners to service the region's offshore wind and oil and gas markets. The company will also expand Nauticus Fleet, a "robotic navy of surface and subsea robots," which was established in April of 2022.
These two new regional offices are just the first examples of international growth Nauticus has planned, according to the release. Established to serve as logistics operation centers, the company's expansion plan includes new remote operation centers and service teams around the world in growth markets. The company did not announce any specific expansion plans.
"We are eager to ramp up activities in these international markets as our growing team contributes to our mission," Radford adds.
In October, shortly after its IPO, Nauticus announced that it has been awarded a second multimillion-dollar contract from the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit, part of the U.S. Defense Department, for development of a self-piloted amphibious robot system powered by the company's ToolKITT command-and-control software.
The company was originally founded in 2014 as Houston Mechatronics Inc. before rebranding in 2021.

TWO CASE REPORTS OF GANODERMA: A JOY AND A SHOCK
Home / Our Blog / TWO CASE REPORTS OF GANODERMA: A JOY AND A SHOCK
YE LI
This article is reproduced from the 94th issue of GANODERMA magazine in 2022. The copyright of the article belongs to the author.
Zhi-Bin Lin, professor of the Department of Pharmacology, Peking University School of Basic Medical Sciences
In this article, Prof. Lin introduced two cases reported in scientific journals. One of them was that taking Ganoderma lucidum spore powder cured gastric diffuse large B cell lymphoma, and the other one was that taking Ganoderma lucidum powder caused toxic hepatitis. The former proved that tumor regression was related to Ganoderma lucidum spore powder while the latter exposed the hidden concerns caused by poor quality Ganoderma products. Therefore, one joy and one shock reminded consumers to be cautious when purchasing Ganoderma products so as not to waste money and hurt their bodies!
Many medical journals have a "Case Report" column that reports meaningful findings from the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients, as well as discovering the effects or serious side effects of drugs. In the history of medicine, sometimes individual discoveries promote the development of science.
For example, British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming first discovered and reported that penicillin secretion has an anti-staphylococcal effect in 1928, and named it penicillin. This discovery was shelved for many years until 1941 when British pharmacologist Howard Walter Florey and German biochemist Ernest Chain were inspired by Fleming's paper to complete the purification of penicillin and its anti-streptococci pharmacological experiments and proved its antibacterial efficacy in a dying patient, penicillin began to receive attention.
After their secondary research and development, penicillin has been produced on an industrial scale as the first antibiotic used in human history, saving countless lives and becoming a major discovery in the 20th century. Therefore, Fleming, Florey and Chain, who relayed to research and develop penicillin, were awarded the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
The following two clinical case reports of Ganoderma lucidum, although discovered by chance, have been carefully studied and analyzed by the reporter. The former provides evidence for the use of Ganoderma lucidum in the treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the stomach while the latter It tells us that bad Ganoderma lucidum products can cause toxic hepatitis.
Ganoderma lucidum spore powder cured a case of gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
There are many cases in the folk that Ganoderma lucidum has the effect of treating cancer, but it is rare to be reported by medical professional publications.
In 2007, Wah Cheuk et al. of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong reported in the International Journal of Surgical Pathology a case of a 47-year-old male patient with no relevant medical history who came to the hospital in January 2003 because of upper abdominal pain.
Helicobacter pylori infection was found to be positive by the urea breath test, and a large area of gastric ulcer was found in the pyloric region of the stomach by gastroscopy. Biopsy sampling revealed a large number of medium to large lymphocytes infiltrating the gastric wall, with irregularly shaped nuclei, vacuolated chromatin located in the nucleus, and prominent nucleoli.
Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that these cells were positive for CD20, a B-cell differentiation antigen, expressed in more than 95% of B-cell lymphomas, whereas helper T cells (Th), cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and regulatory T cells (Treg) were negative for CD3, and the Ki67 proliferation index, which reflects the proliferative activity of tumor cells, was as high as 85%. The patient was clinically diagnosed with gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Since the patient tested positive for Helicobacter pylori infection, the hospital decided to perform Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment on the patient from February 1 to 7, followed by surgical resection on February 10. Surprisingly, the pathological examination of resected gastric tissue samples did not reveal the histopathological changes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma but instead found a large number of small CD3+CD8+ cytotoxic T cells infiltrating the full thickness of the gastric wall, and the Ki67 proliferation index dropped to less than 1%.
In addition, in situ RT-PCR detection of T cell receptor beta chain (TCRβ) mRNA gene showed a polyclonal pattern, and no monoclonal T cell population was detected.
The test results provided by the reporter showed that the T cells in the patient's stomach tissue were normal rather than malignant. Because tumor cells lose the ability to differentiate and mature and only have the same specific genetic marker, they are monoclonal while normal cell proliferation is polyclonal.
It was learned from the inquiry that the patient took 60 capsules of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder (3 times the recommended dose of the recommender) per day from February 1 to 5. After surgery, the patient did not receive any adjuvant therapy, and the tumor did not recur during the two-and-a-half-year follow-up.
The researchers believe that the immunohistochemical results of surgically resected biopsy samples do not support the possibility of Helicobacter pylori eradication of large B-cell lymphoma, so they speculate that it may be that patients taking large doses of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder promotes active host immune response of cytotoxic T cells to large B-cell lymphoma, which in turn lead to complete tumor regression [1].
This case report has a clear diagnosis and treatment process. The author of the article has proved that tumor regression is related to Ganoderma lucidum spore powder through histopathological and cellular and molecular biological research analysis, which is highly scientific and worthy of further research.
The following is a case of toxic hepatitis induced by Ganoderma lucidum powder.
Many pharmacological studies have proved that Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body extract and its polysaccharides and triterpenes, as well as Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, have obvious hepatoprotective effects. They have obvious improvement effect in clinical treatment of viral hepatitis.
However, in 2004, Man-Fung Yuen et al. of the University of Hong Kong School of Medicine reported a case report of Ganoderma lucidum powder-induced toxic hepatitis in the Journal of Hepatology.
A 78-year-old woman sought treatment at this hospital due to general malaise, loss of appetite, itchy skin, and tea-colored urine for two weeks. The patient had a history of hypertension and had been taking the antihypertensive drug felodipine routinely for 2 years. During this period, her liver function tests were normal, and she also took calcium, multivitamin tablets and Ganoderma lucidum by herself. After taking decocted Ganoderma lucidum for one year, the patient switched to a new commercially available Ganoderma lucidum powder product. She developed the above symptoms after four weeks of taking such a product.
Physical examination revealed marked jaundice in the patient. The results of her blood biochemical tests are shown in the table below. Immunological examination ruled out the possibility of the patient suffering from viral hepatitis A, B, C, and E. The histopathological results of liver biopsy showed that the patient had pathological changes in drug-toxic hepatitis.
During one year of taking Ganoderma lucidum water decoction, the patient showed no abnormality. But after switching to commercially available Ganoderma lucidum powder, she quickly developed symptoms of toxic hepatitis. After discontinuing the Ganoderma lucidum powder, her above-mentioned blood biochemical indicators gradually returned to normal. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with toxic hepatitis caused by Ganoderma lucidum powder. The reporter pointed out that since the composition of the Ganoderma lucidum powder could not be detected, it is worth considering whether the liver toxicity was caused by other ingredients or the dose change after switching to take the Ganoderma lucidum powder [2].
Since the reporter did not explain the source and properties of Ganoderma lucidum powder, it is unclear whether this powder is Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body powder, Ganoderma lucidum spore powder or Ganoderma lucidum mycelium powder. The author believes that the most likely cause of toxic hepatitis caused by Ganoderma lucidum powder in this case is the quality problem of the bad product, that is, the pollution caused by mold, pesticides and heavy metals.
Therefore, when purchasing Ganoderma products, consumers must buy products with the approval number of the competent authority. Only such products that have been tested by a third party and approved by a competent authority can provide consumers with reliable, safe and effective guarantees.

HONOLULU — Honolulu police have issued warnings or citations to thousands of people in violation of coronavirus protocols since Hawaii launched a pre-arrival testing program to reopen to tourists.
The Honolulu Police Department says officers issued 4,500 warnings and 470 citations for not wearing masks or failing to social distance since the launch of the traveler testing program Thursday.
Police say they do not separate visitors and residents on their list of citations and warnings. Officers also arrested several people for violations of the city's emergency orders. Supporters of reopening say tourists pose fewer risks than large gatherings of residents.

HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and the first lady tested negative for coronavirus on Wednesday, just hours after he abruptly left an event.
The Democrat was speaking at a workforce development event his office organized with Democratic Rep. Donald Norcross at Camden County College when he learned a recent contact had tested positive.
The 63-year-old governor say he has no symptoms and last tested negative on Monday. Murphy spokesperson Mahen Gunaratna says Tammy Murphy also tested negative on Wednesday afternoon. The governor and first lady will quarantine until the end of the weekend and take a test before resuming any in-person events.
The state's daily coronavirus figures have doubled in the past month, state officials said this week. New Jersey has reported more than 222,000 positive cases and 14,438 confirmed deaths.
NEW YORK — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is easing restrictions slightly in some coronavirus hot spots in New York City, but adding them in areas along the Pennsylvania border.
The tweaks will mean that schools in parts of Brooklyn and Queens can reopen, with boosted testing efforts, and houses of worship can increase attendance.
New York recorded more than 2,000 new infections in a single day for the first time since mid-May. Cuomo announced the reinstatement of coronavirus restrictions in two upstate counties where the virus is spreading.
MADRID — Spain has become the first western European country to reach more than 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases.
Spain's health ministry says the total since the start of the pandemic has reached 1,005,295 after reporting 16,973 additional cases in the past 24 hours.
The ministry says the country has 34,366 confirmed deaths. Health experts say the real numbers of infections and deaths are probably much higher because insufficient testing, asymptomatic cases and reporting issues impede the true scale of the outbreak.
Health authorities in charge of health policy in Spain's regions are tightening restrictions in hopes of stemming the surge.
BOSTON — Boston Mayor Marty Walsh says public schools will switch to all-remote learning starting Thursday because of increasing coronavirus cases.
The city's seven-day average positive test rate is currently 5.7%, up from last week's rate of 4.5%. There have been two weeks of increased confirmed positive cases across the city.
Walsh says students will remain in remote learning until two full weeks of falling infection rates.
Boston has nearly 19,000 coronavirus cases and 771 confirmed deaths.
Massachusetts has more than 142,000 confirmed cases and 9,537 deaths, the sixth-highest deaths in the nation behind New York (33,000), Texas (17,500), California (17,000), New Jersey (16,225) and Florida (16,000).
BERLIN — Germany Health Minister Jens Spahn has tested positive for the coronavirus and is self-isolating at home.
The health ministry says Spahn is showing "cold symptoms" and people in close contact are being informed.
Germany's approach to the pandemic has been widely lauded. The 40-year-old Spahn has been ubiquitous throughout, appearing regularly at briefings or events to push the government's message of adherence to mask regulations, social distancing and hygiene rules.
Spahn regularly wears a mask when it's not possible to keep a safe distance.
Germany's numbers have increased in the past weeks. The Robert Koch Institute, the country's disease control center, says 7,595 new cases were registered on Wednesday. The number of new cases per 100,000 over the last seven days have risen to 51.3.
Germany has recorded 385,907 cases (No. 18 in the world) and 9,849 confirmed deaths (No. 20).
BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota's coronavirus cases are rising so fast, the Republican governor is deploying the National Guard to notify people of positive test results.
Gov. Doug Burgum and the North Dakota Department of Health announced they're shifting 50 National Guard members who had worked in contract tracing to notify people who test positive. It's been taking health officials up to three days to notify people after they've tested positive, the department said.
Public health officials will no longer notify close contacts of people who tested positive; instead those individuals will be instructed to self-notify close contacts and direct them to the department's website.
North Dakota's 1,224 new cases of the coronavirus per 100,000 people in the past two weeks is the highest per capita in the nation, according to data by Johns Hopkins University.
The state's numbers have prompted questions over how Burgum, a former Microsoft executive up for re-election, has handled the coronavirus. He's asked citizens to voluntarily wear masks.
Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney, a surgeon, has called for a mask mandate statewide. The mayor says there's "better compliance if it's the whole state."
BERLIN — German states are imposing stricter coronavirus as new infections rise across the country.
The Robert Koch Institute, the country's disease control center, says 7,595 new cases had been recorded. The number of new cases per 100,000 over the last seven days had climbed to 51.3.
The country's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, announced all students from fifth grade up will wear masks in class when they return from the fall break on Monday.
The measure is expected to remain until at least the Christmas break. The state is also committing 50 million euros ($60 million) to purchase mobile ventilation units for classrooms.
Meanwhile, the southern state of Bavaria announced new restrictions that would kick in if its rate of infection rises to more than 100 per 100,000 residents over seven days. The previous restrictions took effect at rates of 35 per 100,000 and then 50 per 100,000. The state is currently at 54.96 per 100,000 residents over seven days.
The rate in Berlin rose to more than 100 per 100,000 over seven days for the first time on Wednesday, hitting 104.4, according to state health authorities. It announced stronger restrictions earlier in the week.
ROME — The Italian military is mobilizing 200 drive-in test sites operated by armed forces personnel to help combat the surge in coronavirus cases.
The Italian defense ministry announced 1,400 members of the armed forces will have the nationwide sites operational within the next days. It will conduct as many as 30,000 swab tests per day.
By month's end, laboratories in Italian military hospitals will help speed up test results.
Bucharest, Romania — Romania hit an all-time high Wednesday with 4,848 positive coronavirus cases as authorities carried out a record number of tests.
Romania reported 37,025 coronavirus tests, the highest so far. It added 69 deaths in the last 24 hours.
The rate of infections over the past 14 days passed the threshold of three people per 1,000 in 255 localities nationwide, all of which entered the "red scenario," according to data from Romania's Emergency Services Department.
In the red scenario, masks are mandatory in all public venues and restaurants, cafes, theaters and cinemas are closed. Schools are shut down and switch to online learning.
Romania has reported 191,102 coronavirus cases and 6,065 confirmed deaths.
SOFIA, Bulgaria — Bulgaria hit a record level of 1,336 new coronavirus infections, the health ministry reported on Wednesday.
New restrictive measures are starting Thursday with mandatory mask-wearing outdoors. Health Minister Kostadin Angelov said wearing protective masks, along with social distancing and frequent disinfection, will slow the spread of the virus by about 30 percent and help prevent overwhelming the health system.
According to official reports, 71 doctors and other medical staff have tested positive in the past 24 hours, bringing the total of infected medics to 1,622.
Bulgarian President Rumen Radev reportedly cut short a visit to Estonia on Tuesday because of contact with a coronavirus-positive person. Upon his return to Sofia, Radev showed reporters a negative test result and his office announced Wednesday that he tested negative for a second time.
The Balkan nation of 7 million people has 31,863 confirmed cases and 1,019 deaths.
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's military-backed National Command and Operation Center has issued a warning that another lockdown could be imposed to contain COVID-19 deaths if people don't stop violating social distancing rules.
The announcement on Wednesday came after Pakistan reported reported 660 new confirmed cases in the past 24 hours and 19 deaths.
The daily death toll was one of Pakistan's highest in more than two months. Deaths from COVID-19 have steadily increased since the government lifted its months-long lockdown in August.
Pakistan has reported 324,744 confirmed cases of the virus and 6,692 virus-related deaths since February.
WARSAW — Poland has reported a new record for daily coronavirus cases after conducting a record number of virus tests.
The country on Wednesday reported 10,040 new confirmed cases and 13 deaths, plus another 117 people died of COVID-19 combined with other health issues. There were 60,000 tests performed in 24 hours.
Authorities in large cities are taking steps to turn conference halls into temporary COVID-19 hospitals, and the city of Krakow is planning to reopen a disused hospital to treat coronavirus patients.
Polish lawmakers are debating legislation that would give more funds to medics and temporarily exempt them from legal responsibility for mistakes that take place while treating people for COVID-19.
The country of 38 million has almost 203,000 total reported cases and nearly 3,900 confirmed deaths.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has gone back to his mask-less old ways during his general audience at the Vatican despite surging coronavirus infections across Europe.
Francis shunned a facemask during his Wednesday public audience in the Vatican auditorium, and remained mask-less when he greeted a half-dozen bishops at the end. He shook hands and leaned in to chat privately with each one.
The pope himself donned a facemask in public for the first time during a liturgical service on Tuesday.
Vatican regulations now require facemasks to be worn indoors and out where distancing can't be "always guaranteed." The Vatican hasn't responded to questions about why the pope wasn't following either Vatican regulations or basic public health measures to prevent COVID-19.
At age 83 and with part of a lung missing from an illness in his 20s, the pope is at high-risk for COVID-19 complications.
GENEVA — The World Health Organization says Europe again reported a new high in the weekly number of coroavirus cases during the pandemic last week, recording more than 927,000 cases.
The U.N. health agency says in its latest global report on the coronavirus that the continent had a 25% spike in confirmed cases last week and was responsible for 38% of all new cases reported worldwide.
France, Britain, Russia, the Czech Republic and Italy were responsible for more than half of new COVID-19 cases in the region.
The WHO report says the number of deaths in Europe also "continues to climb," and increased by one-third from the previous week.
Slovenia has declared a 30-day state of emergency with a curfew in response to the increasing coronavirus transmission. WHO says Slovenia has reported a total of 164 deaths, including 12 confirmed deaths in the past week.
(This item has been corrected by WHO to indicate 164 total deaths in Slovenia.)
LONDON — The South Yorkshire region of northern England is under the country's tightest restrictions to curb the coronavirus, joining a densely populated area of the country where the measures have already been imposed.
Sheffield Mayor Dan Jarvis say the Tier 3 restrictions will start Saturday. He says local authorities had struck a deal with the British government on financial support for the area to accompany the measures.
"We all recognize the gravity of the situation and have taken the responsible route to ensure we save lives and livelihoods, and protect our (health service)," Jarvis said.
Under the new rules, pubs have to close, people are barred from mixing with members of other households and travel in and out of the area is discouraged. The measures have caused tension between Britain's Conservative government and local authorities in northern England, which has the country's highest infection rates.
On Tuesday the government imposed the same restrictions on Greater Manchester, the U.K.'s second-biggest urban area.
Britain has had Europe's deadliest coronavirus outbreak, with nearly 44,000 confirmed deaths.

California opens scarce vaccines to those 65 and older

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is immediately allowing residents 65 and older to get scarce coronavirus vaccines, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday.
The move puts seniors in line before emergency workers, teachers, childcare providers and food and agriculture workers even as counties complain they already don't have enough doses to go around.


When I started out as a freelance proofreader, I was sometimes wary of giving away too many secrets to other people in the industry, for example about how I find clients, how I retain them, what I charge, etc. However, over time, I have realised that 'the enemy' can be the exact opposite.
I started networking a while ago and, through one group, met a designer who suggested I meet a few local copywriters. She put me in touch with some of her contacts, one of whom also happened to be a proofreader and, rather than approaching each other with caution and holding back, we spoke freely about our work and how we approached it, which was brilliant. More importantly, the very next day she was contacted by a client to work on a huge project that she couldn't do alone, so she asked me if I was interested and we shared the work. This wasn't on a sub-contract basis but on an even footing with the client, and from that contact I have acquired even more work.
Another example is my local SfEP group. We meet every month (split between two groups, West Midlands, and the one I co-run, Coventry and South Warwickshire) and rather than using online forums for help or passing work on, we email each other. Four or five of us all worked on some Eastern European literature last year, all because one member of the group suggested we contact his client as a team (they needed more than one proofreader). By all sticking together, we were able to set the price in line with the industry recommendations and our team approach made us feel more comfortable and confident in doing so.
So, that's all well and good as it's quantifiable – from my network of other freelancers, I have gained numerous clients and earned hard cash. But to be honest, the best part of the network is that I have 'colleagues' now and not enemies (thanks to Louise Harnby for making me view other proofreaders this way).
The support that we all offer each other* is invaluable, not only with work-specific queries but also with ideas for training, ways of dealing with the peaks and troughs of work and, perhaps more importantly, just being there with an understanding ear. Working for yourself can be very lonely but knowing there are other people out there doing the same thing and who are willing to listen really is a great thing. On the quiet days, you'll have someone to 'talk' to while during the busy times they understand that you may not have time to reply to every email but won't take offence.
Find a Proofreader is a great way of bringing lots of freelancers together – though we may all compete for the jobs, I'd like to think lots of us are able to turn to each other for help and advice when needed, turning 'the enemy' into colleagues and friends whom we can trust.

Some people, when they experience their first success, go on a vacation or splurge on an expensive dinner. Paul Pierce, who currently plays for the L.A. Clippers, made a large, sentimental purchase after signing his first contract extension with the Boston Celtics: a Mediterranean-style home for his mother. Now, after 16 years, Pierce's mom is moving to a new house in the same neighborhood of Cheviot Hills. Her former 5,268-square-foot residence is currently on the market for $3.4 million and boasts six bedrooms, five baths, and one half bath. Outside, there is a spacious backyard with a loggia. Pierce, who will retire at the end of this season, reportedly helped his mother pick out her new place—and judging by his taste in homes, we're sure it will be just as beautiful as this one.
